A senior banker at Nomura Holdings Inc. has been barred from leaving China in a move connected to a long-running investigation of a top dealmaker in the country, the Financial Times reported.
Charles Wang Zhonghe, who is chair of investment banking for China at the Hong Kong arm of the Japanese bank, has not been detained and is only restricted from exiting China, the newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter it didn’t identify. Nomura declined to comment and Wang didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment, the FT said. A Nomura spokesperson declined to comment to Bloomberg News.
